Bahrain forces prepare for trouble
Security forces moved out in unprecedented numbers today as Bahrain marked the one-year anniversary of the Shiite-led uprising against its Sunni rulers.
On the eve of the anniversary, violence erupted at a rally in the Gulf nation’s capital of Manama as opposition supporters staged the largest attempt in months to retake Pearl Square, the city’s central roundabout that had served as the centre of weeks of anti-government protests last year, inspired by other Arab Spring revolts.
